Really enjoyed this show! I'll definitely remember this for the right reasons.
I'll start by saying what I like the most. The plot. When a story alone is interesting and engaging enough to be my main motivation for watching, then it's clear that it stands out!

The basic plot outline is that Sai Akuto, the main character, is prophesied to be a demon lord in the future. The story isn't about him trying to hide it, as the being that said "Future occupation: Demon Lord" is very high accuracy, and loads of other people hear it at the time, all of which are understandably terrified. Sai Akuto doesn't have any evil intentions however, and anything he does to try and convince others that he's not evil always has the opposite effect. The fact that he has much greater mana powers than everyone else doesn't help! Honestly one of the strongest and most engaging plots I can remember. I really love it!
There is however, something stopping me from giving this show a 5-star rating. It's not Brave, who unlike most other viewers, I am okay with (though I can kinda see why he's unpopular, due to how out of place he is in the show).
After watching the first episode I was let down that there's only 12 episodes, as I knew I'd eventually want more. However, near the end the reasoning changed. See, near the end the story starts to speed ahead (as in, about 5 episodes of plot advancement happened in 1). Probably the result of the creators trying to cram it into 12 episodes. If the series went on for another 6 episodes at least, then the final episodes would have felt more satisfying and less rushed through.
All in all, great show, and as long as the high amount of fanservice and mild hentai doesn't bother you, then I recommend watching this!
